1st SOP INEOS Grenadier

[Halliwell Jones Chester]

How's your order book looking ?

Ticking along well considering we don't actually have anything to show anyone. Once demonstrators land though it will surge again.

Are you Sela Green after the stag doo?

Are you Sela Green after the stag doo?

A little bit but not to bad, the stag came into work this morning and then went home after an hour. Destroyed him last night, just as it should be

At the Colorado event, they said that they expected to sell a lot of the green ones.

At the LA event I'm pretty sure they said that factory tours were a possibility. I'll have to check the transcript to be sure.

I was wondering if Sir Jim Radcliffe and Sir Richard Branson are brothers.
Anyone else notice a similarity in appearance, mannerisms, entrepreneurship and billionaireness?
I had to add that last one to the dictionary, apparently it isn't a word.








Edit. Sorry if this is off topic.
Feel free not to read it if it offends

Hair and beard look similar. The eyes, the nose and everything else looks quite different.

They did have a different set of parents each! Both have quite impressive cv's

I was on a Virgin flight years ago and Richard was on it.
He walked along the aisle talking to everyone and then started serving the food and drinks.
He was crap at it but nobody cared.

staff shortages hey

probably one of the more average looking flight attendants back then. Doubt he would've passed his own company's 'vetting'!!

Now, what colour did Branson order?

Clearly you haven't flown British Airways recently.
There is a saying that British Airways had the best cabin staff back in the 1980's ........................and most of them are still there.

 

[ECrider]

There's a lot of truth to that!

Despite repeated requests to Ineos I’m yet to get an answer from them if LS1 or LS2 is coming down the production line currently. No big deal though, more from an interest point.

I’m thinking Job #1 is possibly a LS1 and not Sir Jim’s vehicle - corroborated by the wording in an Ineos email received a few minutes ago. It references ‘series production’:

“We recently told you we’ve started series production of the Grenadier. And that, despite global supply issues facing the automotive industry, customer vehicles will…”

I wonder if in years to come JOB number plates will be associated with the Grenadier in the same way as HUE plates with Land Rover?

I have E13 JOB on my SL, it might have to be transferred when the Ineos arrives!

HUE 166 - "Much debate rages about Huey's provenance. Some claim he's actually the first "production" car, built after an initial batch of 48 prototypes, but Land Rover's technical communications manager, Roger Crathorne, is adamant. "Huey is the first of the prototypes, no doubt," he tells me. "His chassis number is LR1 and the comprehensive records we hold tell the whole story. HUE 166 rolled out of the factory on March 11, 1948."

"Production commenced in June"

First Land Rover Series 1 - 1948 - HUE 166

Sir Jim owns the first production Land Rover:

So maybe a JUE plate would be more in keeping?

Also, to mirror what was supposed to happen to Huey, then Juey #Job 1 should maybe go to King Charles?

Ears, nose and eyes is how you tell. Ears look similar, but that’s where it ends.
